Palin lookalike strippers to strut in pageant

LAS VEGAS -- Some spectacled strippers are looking to score some votes of their own, just for looking like Sarah Palin.

A Sin City strip club says it plans to host a lookalike contest in honor of the GOP vice presidential nominee, and is bringing in women from gentlemen's clubs all over the country to compete. According to fox5vegas.com, one of the contestants is from Oklahoma.

They'll be judged by club guests on how they resemble Palin while wearing a swimsuit and how well they debate, according to news release.

A vote will determine the winner. The prize? A $10,000 package including a trip to Washington for Inauguration Day in January. Officials for Club Paradise Men's Club in Las Vegas say they're holding the contest because Palin competed as a beauty queen years ago and is widely impersonated today.

Palin came in second at the 1984 Miss Alaska pageant, taking home the Miss Congeniality award.

I can't believe that "debate" will be part of the competition.
